Thanks to Mandalay, found out about this yummy joint.
Previously Cul De Sac, it is now a fast food joint serving items similar items, however I miss those chips with mayonnaise, gravy, vinegar and various of sauces.
The interior is relatively the same, hence it was hard to notice they had been replaced by another shop, and the name Uncle Hiro’s sound Japanese.
The new joint offers Tacos, pizzas, hotdogs, burgers and some interesting items.
It is run and possibly owned by Indians, the takeaway bag and tissues were from Ebeeneezers too.
Ordered the beef Tacos with chilli con carne sauce, Chapli burger and chicken drumstucks as stated on the menu.
Tacos with chili con carne:
These were rather expensive for $34, only two tacos per portion, and there was not much filling inside.
Despite that, it tasted so yummy, there was lots of starchy kidney beans, and the meat was ground finely.
The lettuce was shredded finely too rather that a big piece of lettuce.
The spicy sauce on the lettuce was very fiery so beware.
MAGIC CARPET (Chapli burger):
This was also expensive too for $34, I was expecting a gigantic patty but was it was the size of the patty served at McD’s.
Nevertheless, the patty was spicy and delicious, however being an indian burger, I would have preferred more authentic Indian toppings eg mango chutney, yogurt or mint sauce rather than tomato, mustard and mayonnaise.
The bun was good though, there wasn’t much sesame seeds.
Chapli is a patty made from beef mince, it is one of the popular barbecue meals in Pakistan. It is prepared flat and round and served with yoghurt sauce (raita), salad and naan bread. The dish originates from Mardan (Takhtbhai) and Mansehra (Qalanderabad) regions of Pakistan.in mansehra shinkiari and ichrean are very famous for chapal kabab.peaples of shinkiari serve chapal kabab as the special dish to the guests.nima kababi is one of the famous chapal kabab maker in mansehra(shinkiari).
Chicken drumsticks:
These were priced at $32 so I asked how many drumsticks were in a portion, and they answered 3, which sounds reasonable, however when I got it, there were four.
They turned out to be CHICKEN drumettes not drumsticks.
Anyway, they tasted good, so it didn’t matter. The coating of the drumettes were so crunchy, it made a crunchy sound was like biting into thick Pringle crisps.
Whilst waiting for the food to be prepared, I saw a lot of food being taken out from cardboard boxes and reheated, but I couldn’t see what brand they were.
For my next visit, I will probably try the potato skins, chicken fingers and poutine.
